HOLLY SPRINGS — Woodstock swam to a pair of titles Saturday as the Cherokee County Aquatic Center hosted the Cherokee Relays, its first major meet of the season.

Unlike traditional meets, where the bulk of the events are individual races, all of the events in Saturday’s meet were, as the name implies, relays.

The format seemed to benefit Woodstock, which was able to mix experienced swimmers with talented newcomers. The Wolverines had relay teams place in the top two of nearly every race.

In the girls portion of the meet, Woodstock scored 382 points to beat Etowah by 10 points. River Ridge (236) was third, followed by Cherokee (168), Sequoyah (154) and Creekview (94).

Etowah did its part to catch Woodstock down the stretch. The team of Megan Young, Taylor Weiss, Katie Taylor and Lauren Oglesby won the 400-yard freestyle relay, but Woodstock had teams at second and sixth to maintain the victory.

The Lady Wolverines opened the meet strong, winning the 200 medley relay and placing another team fifth.

In the second girls event of the meet, the 200 butterfly relay, Woodstock put teams in second and fifth. The trend continued as the Lady Wolverines had two relay teams score points in every event of the meet.

Teams from either Etowah or Woodstock won every event in the girls portion.

Lauren Case, Megan O'Meara, Kailey Austin, Rachel Steppe. and Madison Tank all go to Woodstock, not Etowah, and it would be nice if you would use a picture of a Woodstock swimmer, considering they won the meet, not Etowah
